WEB DESIGNER | BUSINESS GUY | NERD I REALLY HATE HELEVETICA

So I’m working on music-critic’s top five of 2006 feature, (here is a link to last year’s list) which is scheduled to be posted sometime in the next couple of weeks. Of course, because I’m a music fiend I also have to weigh in with my two cents. Anyways, since I have to write something up this weekend, this week’s random thought are going to be heavy on the music side. Also, if you feel up to it use the comments to state your Top 5 of 2006.

Public Enemy What I’ve always loved about this track is how it has a ticking-clock feel to it. There’s such a sense of urgency to the lyrics and music. You ready to be moved, both emotionally and physically? Then here’s your ticket. Hear the drummer get wicked.

As I said previously Welcome to the Terrordome is the perfect wedding song.

Second – At the end of the month Pitchforkmedia.com will release it’s Top 50 records and singles of the year. And while they can be extremely pretentious, their Top Fifty Singles of the year write up is always a great source for making the perfect mix disc for that special someone.

Fourth – Oilersuck.com is probably one of the best named websites in the world. It also has a great online store where you can pick up a losers hoodie or a thong for one of your sloppy friends. Alright to be fair to all those oiler fans, the same guy also runs a similar site called Flamessuck.com. (thanks to calgarypuck)

5? That’s it? You’re trying to distill a year’s worth of releases into the number 5? I haven’t listened to a CD from start to finish in the last 5 years, so I’ll go with my top singles of the year. Feel free to delete this post if you feel my rambling is off-topic.

A few disclaimers:

– I make no promises about the quality of the albums that these songs are parts of – The first 5 are sissy songs that tend to be just a little on the depressing side, so don’t listen to them if you’ve been hitting the bottle, or any other narcotics that might cause you to do something stupid. – The second 5 are songs that I would be listening to if I wasn’t listening to the first 5 so much. – They are not presented in any particular order.
